Pico de Gallo

What We're Cooking

Pico de Gallo

Sometimes the simplest recipes are the ones that make the biggest impact—and pico de gallo is exactly that.

At B&P, we keep it straightforward, but we’re intentional about every ingredient. Because when you start with the right ingredients, you don’t need much else.

Fresh, bright, and full of flavor—this is how pico should be.

what goes into it

  • Fresh, flavorful tomatoes
  • Crisp red onion
  • Fragrant cilantro
  • Fresh lime juice
  • Flaky sea salt
  • And our secret touch: a splash of vinegar

 

Why It Works

It’s all about balance.

The tomatoes bring freshness and juiciness, the red onion adds a little bite, and the cilantro gives that unmistakable herbaceous finish. Lime juice brightens everything up—but the real difference maker? A small splash of vinegar.

The Secret Behind the Flavor

That splash of vinegar isn’t just extra—it’s intentional.

As it mixes with the natural juices from the tomatoes, fresh lime juice, and flaky sea salt, it creates a light, vibrant base that ties everything together. The vinegar enhances the acidity, sharpens the flavors, and helps create that perfectly balanced, craveable salsa texture.

It’s subtle—but it’s what sets our pico apart.

  • 2 oz Red Onion, diced
  • 10 grams Cilantro, rough chop
  • 3 ml Fresh Lime Juice
  • 7 ml White Vinegar
  • 1 pinch Flaky Sea Salt OR to taste, take into consideration the saltiness of your tortilla chip

  • 2. Pour lime juice & vinegar over veggies and stir.
  • 3. Mix well and sprinkle sea salt over mixture.
  • 4. Eat fresh and enjoy!

keep it fresh

  • Great pico isn’t overcomplicated. It’s chopped fresh, lightly mixed, and served at its peak. The goal is to let every ingredient shine without overpowering the others.

how to use it

  • Spoon it over tacos, pile it onto nachos, or serve it alongside chips. Use this pico to top your queso, nachos, BBQ potatoes, and more—it’s the fresh, flavorful finish that takes any dish to the next level.
